I passed out of Raleigh (when it was nine weeks), and then went to Collingwood. It was then HMS Ocean, for approximately 6 months. Had a couple of weeks back at Collingwood to do some Morse/typing consolidation, and then went to Blandford for five weeks. Had two weeks summer leave, and I'm now at DISC Chicksands.

Ahh I see - so basically it is Raleigh, Collingwood, sea training, Collingwood, Blandford and Chicksands....

So very helpful.

Also, another question I need to know for my interview is - where I would be based once CT training is complete...? Any idea..I remember once being told that a lot of work can be with the RAF, US Navy and French Navy...sound about right?

And another thing, I don't suppose you have any idea of the pass rate of Raleigh? (this is more to settle my nerves!)

Our second time at Collingwood was because we left the ship early I believe - it may not be what normally happens. In terms of where you may be after you complete Phase 2C is anyone's guess. It could be in London, overseas, at sea, or a mixture. We haven't been told yet.

Thanks!

Why concern yourself about the pass rate at Raleigh. Do you think that there is a certain amount from each entry that they are looking to get rid of. If everyone reaches and maintains the standards they will all pass-out. Turn up, do your very best, do as you're told, keep your head below the radar, pass everything and all will be fine. Don't forget to bring an iron.
